Biography
Attorney James Bader practices workers compensation law throughout Southern California in his Pomona law office. Mr. Bader was admitted to practice in California in 1992 and focuses almost exclusively on helping injured workers through the process of recovering from their on-the-job injury. His experience as an insurance claims adjuster and insurance defense attorney enables him to view all sides of a workplace injury and prepare a claim with the best chances for prompt, initial success.
Mr. Bader earned his B.S. degree in Finance from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly) in Pomona in 1982. He later attended the University of LaVerne College of Law, earning his Juris Doctorate law degree in 1991. While attending law school, Mr. Bader was recognized for attaining the highest grade in his Legal Writing class through the receipt of the American Jurisprudence Award in Legal Writing in 1987.
Mr. Bader is a member of both the State Bar of California and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Since 1998, he has been a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Bader serves as a Volunteer Settlement Officer for the Los Angeles Superior Court.
